Single treadmill VO2max testing appears reliable in adolescent girls; leaves open generalizability pending larger prospective studies.
Observational
Is a single incremental treadmill VO2max test reliable in adolescent girls?
Effect estimate: day-to-day variability <5%
A single incremental treadmill VO2max test is highly reliable in adolescent girls, supporting its use in large-scale testing without the need for multiple trials.
Pivarnik et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Healthy (implied). Aerobic capacity (VO2max) testing using an incremental treadmill protocol was evaluated on Reliability and day-to-day variability of VO2max (day-to-day variability <5%). Aerobic fitness testing using an incremental treadmill protocol is highly reliable in adolescent girls, with day-to-day variability of VO2max averaging less than 5%.
